Should debut in March.
Perceived wisdom and forum guesses indicate that it is. More in the thread here:
Set 75880
Stupid thread title notwithstanding :-)
Mercedes AMG Petronas Formula 1 team & Scuderia Ferrari Finish Line!!!
Yeah, I visited Reddit after guessing that's where it originated. Found out it was from Twitter (and they'd got the wrong car listed) and now I notice the account is suspended. Odd. June... I can wait.
Also - I WAS RIGHT! I called it and I was right. And we got an image right after the reveal of the car, so I was right twice! In one year! In one thread even! Going to include this in my autobiography and no mistake :-)

Very glad it was not canceled or anything of the sort.

here's my son's (alright mine) collections.
I also wish Speed Champions would have two waves per year like other themes do. I also hope for a Koenigsegg set in 2018.
Didn't we see most of these as part of the Cars theme? :-)
no superbird (surprisingly) but even if we did the Cars theme was just bad, 4 wide and junior-ized before that was even a thing.
I'm all for Mopars, and muscle cars of all makes, but I would love to see some Japanese love too. a Nissan GTR, Mutsi Lancer EVO, Subaru STI, Toyota Supra, Mazda RX7, Lexus LFA, even a Honda Civic Type-R would be welcomed at this point (though personally I favor AWD cars)
I think I also heard Toyota Supra?
A Nissan GTR?
I wonder if it would happen though with the theme producing multiple Formula-1 sets. For anyone that has followed recent news, IndyCar and Formula-1 haven't been playing nice with each other since Fernando Alonso decided to race at the Indianapolis 500 this year instead of racing at the Grand Prix of Monaco.
Back on topic, a lot of those older IndyCars were great, and should have an international appeal with manufacturers like McLaren and Lotus among them.
Perhaps it is much ado about nothing, but I could see where F-1 wouldn't want a similar racing series as part of this theme.
Here's my current wishlist:
Any Koenigsegg car
Ferrari 250 GTO
Ferrari 250 LM
Lamborghini Miura(Modern Lamborghinis might the trickiest to make in SC scale with all those wedge shapes and angles, but, the Miura shouldn't be that tricky)
McLaren F1
Jaguar XJ220
Bugatti EB110
Aston Martin DB5
Aston Martin DB11
Aston Martin Vulcan
1968-1971 Dodge Charger
Dodge Charger Daytona
1971 Dodge Challenger
Any of the new Dodge Challengers(to go with the vintage one)
1967 Shelby GT350
2017 Shelby GT350
Zenvo TS1(Danish car company. Danish toy brand. Hmmm....)
Pagani Huayra BC
And that's all that comes to mind right now.
here are a few of my other SC styled cars I've built in the last couple years:
Vector W8 Twin Turbo
Pagani Huayra
Maserati MC12
And Renault Espace F1
Enjoy!
if you want to build the Pagani check out my mocpages for it, there is an LDD file you can work from. there are also several other cars to check out, in city scale (not Speed Champs styled)

(note: not all of my cars have LDD files)
